ST JOHN’S, Antigua - Jamaica’s Reggae Boyz's defence of their regional title hangs by a thread after they drew 0-0 with new leaders Martinique in a bruising Group B CFU Caribbean Championship match at the Sir Vivian Richard Cricket Stadium Monday night.
Jamaica are firmly at the bottom of the group with a point behind leaders Martinique (four), and French Guiana and Cuba on three points each.
Jamaica have it all to do in their final preliminary game against Cuba Tuesday in a must-win affair. The Boyz are hoping that the French showdown before their encounter will see Martinique defeating French Guiana as the most favourable scenario to give them some hope of slipping into the knockout phase.
Of course a win for the Boyz and a draw between the French teams could provide a possible loophole, but what is certain is that Jamaica find themselves between a rock and a hard place.
In the opening contest of the double-header Monday night, Cuba revived their campaign by coming from behind to clip French Guiana 2-1.
